Hi,

Im having trouble with the uninstaller of GlassFish V2 EE on Windows XP SP2. In the gui the second screen hangs. On the command line, it also hangs:

[i]C:\>Sun\AppServer\uninstall.dos.exe -console
Checking available disk space...
Checking Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...
Launching Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment...

You are running the uninstallation program for Sun Java System Application
Server with HADB. This program asks you to supply configuration preference
settings that it uses to uninstall the server.

The uninstallation program consists of one or more selections that provide you
with information and let you enter preferences that determine how Sun Java
System Application Server with HADB is uninstalled.

When you are presented with the following question, the uninstallation process
pauses to allow you to read the information that has been presented. When you
are ready, press Enter to continue.

 <Press ENTER to Continue>

Some questions require more detailed information that you are required to type.
The question may have a default value that is displayed inside of brackets [].
For example, the following question has a default answer of yes:

   Are you sure? [yes]

If you want to accept the default answer, press only the Enter key (which on
some keyboards is labeled Return).

If you want to provide a different answer, type it at the command prompt and
then press Enter.

    <Press ENTER to Continue>

Welcome to the Sun Java System Application Server with HADB Uninstallation
Program

We strongly recommend that you exit all programs before running the
uninstallation program.

You should also stop all application server domains pertaining to this
installation before proceeding.

If you have other programs running, type Ctrl-C to end the installation program
and then close any other programs you have running.

    <Press ENTER to Continue>[/i]


....just hangs here

Is there any resolution to this? Or is there some manual uninstall procedure I can follow?
